Chicago Style Elevator

In early 2014, Salmon Studios was contracted to engineer, fabricate and install a custom metals package for a prominent Newport, RI address. The highlights of our scope included a Chicago-Style custom elevator cage, an ornamental skylight and a series of decorative railings.

Working from conceptual renderings and precedent photos of existing turn-of-the-century elevators, Salmon Studios worked closely with NCA Architecture and Parker Construction to provide material expertise, design development, and construction documents for our own fabrication.

Production included hand forged and fabricated elements combined with precisely machined CNC components. While facing a tight timeline, and strict elevator code requirements, we were able to meet and exceed the expectations of our client.
